Judging from Lu Tanwei's "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", this is indeed the case. I really can't imagine how you managed to keep it so perfectly. Zhang Donggao felt that Xiao Yao's words were not exaggerated, and Xiao Yao did have something unique about the preservation of cultural relics.

Xiao Yao smiled slightly, not continuing to discuss this topic.

He was able to keep the antiques so well because of the Holy Soul Ring, which naturally couldn't be said to anyone.

Zhang Donggao was not in the mood to continue discussing this issue now, his mind was completely attracted by the next antique.

On the shelf in front of him were three large jars of Yuan blue and white figures.

If he had seen these three large jars of Yuan blue and white in other places, his first reaction would definitely have been to think that they were fakes.

Any Yuan blue and white figure jar is a rare heavyweight national treasure, and anyone who sees three pieces placed together, the first knee-jerk reaction will be to think that it is a fake.

But this is Xiao Yao's treasure room, Zhang Donggao believes that there will definitely be no fakes in this treasure room, and these three Yuan blue and white character jars should be genuine.

He controlled his excitement and began to admire the large blue and white jar on the far left.

The figure picture of this blue and white jar is Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon.

This blue and white plum vase has a short mouth, round shoulders and abdomen, and a slender lower abdomen with a flat bottom.

The whole body is painted with blue and white ornaments, and the shoulders are painted with miscellaneous treasures and entwined peony patterns, which can be described as the best of the flowers, symbolizing "graceful and luxurious, and the atmosphere is extraordinary".

The shape of the whole utensil is dignified and steady, the fetal quality is white and dense, the blue and white hair color is verdant and rich, and the vivid expressions of the characters painted in the bottle are particularly wonderful.

Xiao He's anxiety when he rode his horse wildly, Han Xin's hesitation to watch by the river, and the expectation of the old man standing with his oars were all vividly expressed. The blank space is lined with pine, plum bamboo, and mountain stones, which appear to be scattered.

The ornamentation is pleasant and beautiful, the blue and white materials are suitable, the hair color is bright, rich in layering, the body exudes the luster of the beautiful vessel, and the Baolian pattern symbolizes the "noble status and the spirit of the emperor", which can be called a masterpiece in the blue and white porcelain of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

The same style of the Yuan blue and white plum vase, there are only three pieces in the world, one is collected in the South City Museum of Jiang Province, which is the "treasure of the town hall" of the museum, known as one billion yuan not sold, and the other is still overseas, which is the third piece known to Zhang Donggao.

After some identification, Zhang Donggao confirmed that it was genuine, and exclaimed: "I really didn't expect you to have a Yuan blue and white jar with Xiao Heyue's pattern chasing Han Xin's pattern here, and the condition is better than the one in the Nanshi Museum, which is really amazing." ”

Xiao Yao said: "I personally like the elegance of Yuan Qinghua, so I collected a few more. ”

Zhang Donggao suddenly had nothing to say. Xiao Yao's tone of voice was too indifferent and too casual, as if the rare Yuan Qinghua character pot was at his fingertips.

Every Yuan blue and white character jar is a rare national treasure, others want to collect one, it is an unavoidable thing, he actually collected a few more because he likes it. With such confidence, let alone a private collector, even he, the director of a top museum, would not dare to say such big things.

The following two large jars of Yuan blue and white figures, namely Dayu's water control map and Chang'e's moon map, are the only one in the world, compared to Xiao He Yue's chasing Han Xin's pattern of Yuan blue and white jars, more rare and cherished.

Next to these three large jars of Yuan blue and white figures is a pure gold Buddha statue of Amitayus, and when he first saw this pure gold Buddha statue, Zhang Donggao did not pay much attention to it.

Amitayus Buddha is the incarnation of Amitabha Buddha and the head of the Western Elysium.

According to the Sutra of Amitayus, in the past life, when the Buddha lived in the world, there was a king who had a supreme Taoist mind. He gave up the throne and became a monk, named Fazang Bhikshu, practiced at the King Buddha in the world, and made 48 vows after five eons, and repaid the Pure Land of Bliss in the west of the land of one billion Buddhas.

The three statues of Amitabha Buddha are usually served by Guanyin Bodhisattva and Dashi Zhi Bodhisattva, and are known as the three saints of the West.

In Esoteric Buddhism, Amitabha Buddha symbolizes the wonderful observation of the Dharma Body on the great day. According to Buddhist scriptures, according to the degree of practice and the size of the believer's wishes, the Western Elysium is divided into nine lotus flowers, and its special feature is that Amitabha Buddha has the greatest wish among the Buddhas. Reciting his name with devotion can extinguish serious sins, bring karma to life at the end of life, and receive the Dharma in the Western Elysium without turning back.

The statue in front of him is sitting on a thin platform with both hands knotted with meditation seals, wearing a five-leaf Buddha crown on his head, his hat is symmetrical, and there are symmetrical clothing streamers on both sides of his body.

The face is short and round, the lips are slightly thin, the contours are distinct, the large eyes are quite Indian, the pupils are close to the upper eyelids, the gaze is lowered, and the jaw is slightly adducted, and the compassionate attitude is elegant.

These facial features are typical of the Parra style. The body is strong, the overall outline is rough and unrestrained, and the whole body is magnificent, and it does not lose the roughness of freehand in the strong decoration.

The arms are paired with animal head pattern arm chun, and there is a delicate beaded decoration, and the wrist is decorated with a raised beaded bracelet, the shape is wide, and the flower vines are simple and stout.

These accessories all express a strong, exuberant vitality, highlighting the aesthetic taste of the Pala dynasty during its heyday.

In terms of casting style, solemnity reveals magnificence. The chest and legs are engraved with the delicate patterns that prevail in Central Asia, there are styles such as treasure flowers, blue grass, rui beasts, rare birds, etc., which come one after another, and the flowers are clustered, which can be described as the icing of flowers, and the density is appropriate, which is the same as that of other Para style statues of the same period, giving people a strong impression of dignity and luxury.

Based on Zhang Donggao's professional qualities, it was quickly determined that this was an 11th-century Pala style Buddha statue.

Most of these statues are made of gold or brass, pure gold Buddha statues are extremely rare, and they are all small statues, this is the first time he has seen such a large pure gold statue with a height of 60 centimeters.

The casting process of this statue is extremely superb, the solemnity of compassion comes to the face, it is definitely the best of the fine in the height of art, and it is a unique pure gold statue, its value is simply immeasurable, even if it is compared to any Yuan blue and white figure jar next to it, it is not inferior.

Zhang Donggao felt that he had been numbed by shock, and he couldn't say words of admiration.

Next, he carefully inspected all the items in the treasure room, and only when it was getting dark did he have a rough identification.

Finally appreciating them all, at this moment, Zhang Donggao's mood is intoxicated, being able to see so many heavyweight national treasures, even if he can't achieve the purpose of this trip, he feels that it is worth the trip.
